roasted chicken with tomatillo sauce

Tomatillo sauce is an easy way to jack up the flavour of roasted chicken breasts. Deglaze the pan with tomatillo salsa and fry it in a bit of chicken fat. Doesn’t sound very good when I put it that way but it is. Trust me. Chicken with tomatillo is a match made in heaven. If you wind up with leftovers, they make great tacos.

This recipe all about having things ready before you start cooking. In restaurant speak, that’s having your “mise en place” done. This recipe is dead easy if your tomatillo salsa at hand. And it’s better than most Mexican restaurants serve.

As always, you are cooking to an internal temperature. Time alone is not a reliable guideline. Cook the chicken to 165F. You have an instant read thermometer, right? If not, please get one. It’s probably the most important kitchen gadget there is…
